Slow Cooker Salisbury Steak Meatballs: A Comforting and Flavorful Dish

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Shape and Brown: Form the mixture into 12 evenly-sized meatballs. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs in batches, turning them to ensure even browning on all sides. Once browned, transfer them to the slow cooker.
3. Prepare the Broth: In the same skillet, add beef broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Pour the broth over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
4. Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.
5. Thicken the Gravy: In a small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker, then add the heavy cream. Stir well and let cook for an additional 20 minutes to thicken the gravy.
6. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the meatballs over mashed potatoes or rice, generously smothered in the savory gravy.
